Instructions
  1. Remove the flaps from the top of the box. Cut sheets of construction paper to the same sizes as the box's back, sides and bottom.

  2. Using paint and markers, decorate the paper to make a backdrop scene. Glue the backdrop pieces in place.

  3. Cut a 2-inch slot across the width of the box top. Insert the wooden stick, then tape or tie the corn husk puppet to the end of it so that it can be manipulated from the top by the stage director.
